The most interesting component of the run-off to me will be to see whether or not the PACS and Chamber of Commerce continue to give monetary support to Cochran.

I think most believed, including myself, that Cochran would likely enjoy a fairly comfortable win last night.

With the Tea Party record in run-offs being strong, it will be interesting to see if those PACs decide to save their money for the late summer and fall for seats that will be net gains in the Senate and House.

I think McDaniel probably wins this thing now.

18000 absentee ballots to count today.

McDaniel needs about 80% to avoid runoff, so I suspect we are going to do this again in three weeks.

Remember, can't vote in the runoff if you didn't vote in the primary.

Spending money against fellow Republicans is not smart IMO. If I remember correctly the Cochran campaign spent $8 million against McDaniel so far and most of that money coming from the Washington GOP. That ridiculous. It's time for Washington establishment and the Cochran voters to humble up and save their energy and resources for the general election in November.

In the general Mississippi won't be close and McDaniel will be the new senator. The GOP needs to spend smarter on other races. For example ousting Landreiu. She is going to be terribly difficult to beat and the GOP needs to support Cassidy rather than throwing money and resources down the drain in a primary fight in Mississippi.
